Bug Description
Parted package:
- fails to create dasd partitioning table, on qcow2 backed virtio ccw drives.
- it can create dasd partitioning table, if said virtio ccw drive is backed by a real DASD drive.
== Comment: #0 - Michael Roesch - 2016-02-18 11:09:27 ==
Installer version: 421
Kernel: 4.4.0.4
When trying to partition a KVM Virtual Disk, in my case based on a qcow2 image file, the partitioner is detecting the disk to be a DASD
Virtual disk 1 (vda) - 10.7 GB Virtio Block Device
> #1 10.7 GB f ext4 /
> 8.7 kB FREE SPACE
It then uses fdasd to partition it. This fails with the error:
"fdasd: Unsupported disk type -- Disk geometry does not match a DASD device of type 3390."
I have attached the syslog and partman log files, as well as my guest definition file.
